capital beirut. and china holds flights and trains out of the city at the center of a virus outbreak that's killed 17 people so far. so the u.n. human rights experts are calling for an investigation into allegations that saudi arabia's crown prince was involved in the hacking of the phone of amazon boss jeff bezos relations between the billionaire and riyadh saudi write off the journalist democracy was killed by saudi agents in 2018 we begin with this report from nicholas cage. 15 months after the murder of saudi journalists. in the kingdom's consulate in istanbul the fallout continues jeff bezos the boss of the world's largest online shop amazon also owns the washington post the newspaper khashoggi wrote for he's now at the center of a hacking probe un human rights experts

forum the saudi energy minister responded to the allegation is that if there. was a democracy people are concerned. i'm stupid you know that at the same time the wall street journal reported that saudi officials close to the crown prince said they were aware of a plan to hack base also as foreign as part of a broader intimidation campaign against ji but not aware of any attempt to blackmail him well i think is exactly the right way the idea that the conference would have jeff bezos of photos absolutely silly as baseball supported fiancé following his murder in 2018 relations with been some man soweth. baze also 6. alleged last march that the kingdom gained private information from his phone involving text messages between him and a former t.v. news presenter this latest analysis implicates the crown prince for the 1st time i think that it's hard to believe that if they had this successful capability and were brazenly willing to use it against one of the most powerful people in the world that they would stop there the saudis have been accused of other hacking attacks but baze also is by far the most high profile person involved and these latest allegations are expected to only worsen relations between the world's richest men and the kingdom a strategic ally of the us weekly gauge al-jazeera what we heard from the u.n. special reporter when she spoke to al-jazeera

conclusion as the. forensic study i wouldn't want to point out i decided that he saw a d.c. court for a forensic expert weighs an incredible means and disposal to reach 100 per cent. so teach you a certainty order so also the action that should be a wakeup call to all of us that 20 are confronting a technology and and a need a street that is extremely difficult to trace even riza best and highest resources at our disposal those allegations place. the crime prend and the center of a campaign all the hacking surveillance and intimidation that's a fair saying in my view based on mine were created to the killing of gemma castro game those allegations today reinforce the call and i have made for sorow independent investigation into the mastermind behind the killing of casualty and particularly an investigation into the nature and extent of their responsibilities at the highest level of the state including by mohammed bin salman . well only i jeff bezos tweeted a photograph of himself with jamal khashoggi fiance from when they were unveiling a plaque last october marking the one year anniversary of his murder and it had the hash tag jamal all right in washington d.c. the 2nd day of doldrums impeachment trial is underway in his opening statement the democrat adam schiff who's acting as chief prosecutor in the trial said the transactions show that he believes these above the law democrats have 3 days to make their case before trump's team get 3 days to deliver their rebuttal trial could potentially and next week trump is all but certain to be acquitted 20 senators from his republican party need to vote in favor of his removal so far none have said that they will do that in an unprecedented fashion the president ordered the entire executive branch of the united states of america to categorically refuse and completely obstruct the house's impeachment investigation such a host cell obstruction of uncrushed congressional impeachment has never before occurred in our democracy and it represents one of the most blatant efforts at a cover up in history if not remedied by his conviction in the senate and removal from office president trump's abuse of his office and obstruction of congress will permanently alter the balance of power among the branches of government inviting future presidents to operate as if they are also beyond the reach of accountability congressional oversight and the law. now let's play another how did your customer joins us live from capitol hill in washington d.c. . at the run of speeches there's no talk us through the main points made by the democrats who. will make atom a shift started out this morning speaking with reporters being very clear that he is speaking to 2 juries he said one of course are these 100 senators who have the president's fate in their hands and of the 2nd are the american voters themselves who are tuning in and watching these proceedings why is that important well because we see shift and his other house and these managers making these sweeping arguments you just heard him with an argument that this is in the context of both america's founding that president trump's accused behavior is the worst fear of the founding fathers of the united states and also forward looking and what sort of precedent this establishes now his fellow impeach managers have now for the last 5 hours or so going step by step through the evidence that we saw developed during the investigative part of this impeachment going through the phone call in which president trump asked the president of ukraine for a favor talking about getting an announcement on investigations into president trump's political rival joe biden and we also saw them bring up some of those new were evidence that wasn't part of the impeachment inquiry these are documents that were just recently turned over to investigators clued in notes from president trump's private attorney rudy giuliani when he was in ukraine when he was trying to pitch the craning government to get involved in this he wrote a letter to president a lot of news olinsky of ukraine saying that giuliani was acting with the full consent and knowledge of president trump also we're seeing references of last week's nonpartisan federal. watchdog report is an agency that found that the security hold that president trump ordered not giving ukraine its $400000000.00 i have been authorized by congress of laying it. this is agency found that this hold was illegal so none of that has been considered previously in a in a political or a judicial environment like we are here today in the capitol and it is certainly evidence that the senators are allowed to consider now but the biggest evidence is what democrats hope to obtain in the future they're hoping that after these 6 days of opening arguments from both sides that then they will have a chance to call nucleate misses that these senators and the american public have not heard from get some of trump's closest advisers who have thus far been barred from testifying by the president himself and order to get those witnesses though democrats need the support of at least 4 republican senators they're hoping that as they make these opening arguments it's those 4 miles that they hope to sway at least to give democrats the opportunity to see what these witnesses have to say next or heidi thanks very much for the time being well u.s. president donald trump is in the air right now flying back from switzerland from davos where he attended the world economic forum white house correspondent can we help it has more. he was in davos switzerland to talk trade with world leaders but in his 1st press conference since the senate impeachment trial began donald trump couldn't help lashing out at his democratic adversaries calling them major sleaze bags that his mind set focused on his defense trumped told reporters he wanted to let members of his administration testify like former national security advisor john bolton secretary of state my pump ale and other top officials he even floated the possibility of showing up himself. i'd love to. know why you have. the front row and stare in their corrupt faces i'd love to do it i don't know. you may convince me to do it trump seemed fixated on the trial back home even as the white house hoped trump would use the world economic forum to highlight accomplishments on trade trampas corey when asked when he'll tariff imports of european cars to the united states have a date in my mind and it's a fairly quick date past threats of tariffs have sparked backlash from european officials and it could hurt efforts to negotiate another trump trade priority reform of the world trade organization and a new trade deal with the united states and european union still trump says he hopes to have a deal before the 2020 presidential election. terms also confirmed he's expanding his controversial travel ban barring citizens of certain countries from entering the u.s. we're adding a couple of countries to it we have to be safe our country has to be safe. trumps ban sparked protests in the u.s. when he introduced it less than a week after taking office. here. and he called it a muslim ban for targeting muslim majority countries like iran and somalia and fought it in court 2018 the supreme court upheld the policy the white house promises countries can be removed from the travel ban list if they step up security but those headlines from trump's impromptu press conference were once again overshadowed at the impeachment trial on capitol hill mr justice one trunk believes could shape his legacy when i finish i think that this is going to go down as one of the greatest things i've done for our country thank you very much despite allegations to the contrary trump insists he's committed no wrong do. wing and efforts to remove him from office are an attempt to undo the results of the 2016 election and influence the next one. but we're going to speak to complain just a 2nd but as you heard the dollar trump used his press conference and that was to lash out against the impeachment proceedings and he also posted about withholding some evidence from the democrats they had a phony concocted story made so here's the story did nothing wrong it was a perfect conversation it was totally appropriate the best lawyers in the world of looked at it the department of justice has looked at it given it a sign of there was nothing wrong so we're doing very well i got to watch enough i thought our team did it very good job but honestly we have all the material they don't have the material. let's speed secondly going live right now it can be what about every last line that we have all the material. yeah what the president saying and what he's veering sort of unashamed about is the fact that he has been blocking a lot of this evidence that the democrats have been requesting this is part of the obstruction of congress argument that is being made on the floor of the senate but the president seems to believe this is within the realm of presidential privilege and he's making it very plain so that is what is ultimately being decided as part of this impeachment trial now in terms of the president i can update you the he has just landed after flying back from davos switzerland we're watching very carefully to see if a few speaks when he does finally arrive at the white house but in the midst of all of that the white house has had a lot to say about the proceedings thus far in fact the president's longtime attorney jay sekulow saying that there's a lot to rebut and we will rebut we will challenge aggressively the case the democrats are putting forward their kucing adam schiff one of the key house managers we've been listening to of misquoting witnesses in order to make his case in fact stephanie grisham the press secretary saying the american people see this for the partisan sham that it really is in the truck campaign manager parsky ellis saying that in fact this is something that americans aren't even particularly focused on and it is working for trouble in that they're trying to raise money in fact they've sent a goal out to the supporters that they want to try and use this as an opportunity to raise 2000000 dollars in the next 24 hours and we've seen these kind of e-mails before not only did the president meet his goal but in fact he exceeded it so we're watching carefully to see what happens this time but certainly the white house making the case that they want to present their case as well on the floor of the senate and so far they have a lot they say they disagree with me the whole thing is a test of insurance for those of us who follow it but also to especially for those within the senate chamber how important is it for the report republicans that this that wraps up before the falls in the state of union address. it's interesting because donald trump was asked that question before he departed for washington in davos he said he's not particularly concerned in fact he said if this impeachment trial still going how come and talk so joint session of congress in the state of the union he doesn't seem to see it as a problem i don't know how uncomfortable it would be for his those that are watching but in fact the president even said he'd be very happy in the case of the senate trial to sit in the front row this or impeachment trial and stare his democratic critics right in the face so it doesn't seem concerned or it can be more later thanks very much to be held at that well more on donald trump's a piece from michael isikoff is the chief investigative correspondent at yahoo news joins us now from new york michael he was speaking 24 hours ago and things have moved on now we have the democrats laying out their case so what do you make of it so far well i did think that. congressman schiff did a pretty masterful job of laying out the case he's quite good and he was he was good yesterday he clearly did a much superior job with the president's lawyers would be that it did but i think at this point. you know we kind of know the story we've heard the story the senators have now or the story and so there is little danger of repetition at this point and i think that. the senators may well feel as this goes on into the night and then tomorrow that ok we get it we've heard your case and we don't really need to keep hearing it over and over again so you don't think we've heard enough to persuade any republicans to be the fences that. look we don't know if so far no republican senators have broken in and said they are planning to convict the president of course we wouldn't expect thinks here that during the trial there is one crucial vote coming up and it's next week and the whole ball game rests on that and that is whether to call witnesses it now appears that the. that the democrats have 3 republican senators who are prepared to vote for witnesses susan collins said she's likely to do so in a statement yesterday lisa murkowski indicated she's. may well do so in mitt romney that's 3 the question is do they get one more and that would make it $5149.00 and this trial can go into a witness phase if it goes into a witness phase it's katie bar the door this could drag on for months they'll be battles over executive privilege court litigation to try to block testimony from people like john bolton it's going to be an ugly mess and it could get quite costly for republican senators if however they don't get that 4th vote if they're if the senate does not vote to call witnesses this could be over very quickly certainly before february 4th so i think at this point all eyes are on that crucial vote next week about whether to call witnesses michael while republicans unify behind trump it is just a case of unfeigned loyalty. well look this is been a question people have been asking and trying to figure out for the entire 3 years of drum's presidency certainly privately many of these senators will tell you they have no stomach for a lot of donald trump's conduct they wish he wouldn't tweet blue way he does they will they wish he wouldn't say the kinds of things he does the divisive kinds of things that he engages in but they have got a loyal there is a loyal republican base that is standing behind trump and that's their constituents so there are afraid politically to break with the constituents who put them there in the 1st place and that's us kind of like iron rule of politics the democrats will say well if they really showed some courage they would do so they would speak out but of course that's easy to say for them to say because it's not their constituents and backers who are behind donald trump all right well michael moore to come from you for the time being thanks very much michael isikoff the but i'm also ahead on the news hour including the threat from libyan warlord one for have to place his tripoli's main airport. opponents of india's citizenship nor have their day in court with the latest from new delhi. and defending champion. so call it the astray and open the eyes of the actual. planes trains and public transport in the chinese city of would have been shut down as authorities battled the spread of a deadly new virus at least 17 people have been
